Re: [VIDEO] Wiimote Driven FRC Bot

I'm assuming this is along the lines of someone playing Halo on an Xbox with a Wiimote? A bluetooth reciever, (drivers), OI, (transmit to RC via radio), robot moves.

After seeing the vid its pretty much along those lines... I bet a custom circuit is in call now that somebody has tried it. I bet that you can do what I said above to some degree. Develop a custom circuit that uses +5V (so you can drain juice from the OI) and can take the place of the computer by converting the wiimote signals. It is possible to make this "competition ready" but I don't think that it will be "all that and a bag of chips" IMHO.

This is pretty cool though!
